We've put great store in our seasons spanning unbeaten run and hitherto, great store also in our holding of the Challenge Shield. Last Wednesday we saw the beginning of it, but today, we most definately saw that both were a burden around our necks and that the pressure to retain both was one we should not have to carry.
Pride in Trophies and efforts on the field should indeed be only worthy if we are ourselves worthy to continue with them. We started the game from the first whistle trying to tell ourselves that we were worthy, but the great sins of pride and avarice overtook our minds and bodies and we played often in a manner not seen in Keith rugby for many many years. We played poorly and without merit and our decision making abilities we abrogated to the opposition and to the referee.

There were moments where individual Keiths did not play well, and there were moments when the team as a whole did not play well but interspersed among those moments were periods of skill and effort and desire and other superlatives which tell me that not everything is lost.
Yes, we lost two players to hospitalisation. Yes we lost the game to a team many considered beatable and Yes, we made our own bed to lie in.
But those things are oftentimes needed to bring to the realisation of who we really are and what type of team we really are.
Nothing Trouty said or yelled at halftime nor anything I say here matters. All that matters is that next week against Linwood, you remember how it felt today and say to yourselves that you do not wish to feel that way again.
